Is there an addon that adds a sidebar?
Recently I discovered this chrome extension called manganum that adds a sidebar with a bunch of useful features like chatgpt, google calendar and todoist. Sadly there is no firefox version. Is there something similar but for firefox?
I don't have an answer, but I am interested. That said, apparently Firefox can now import and use Chrome extensions with the new update. I have yet to try it myself and assume your mileage will vary.

The import requires the extension to also be available on Firefox
Oh, okay. Maybe I've misunderstood what it does.
output from https://www.extensiontest.com/ doenst look like this specific addon could easily be ported or reproduced, mostly because the
tabGroupsAPI (ref. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabGroups/) AFAIK is not availableref.
... on the other hand i am not sure how required this "feature" would be just for the sidebar functions. i guess one could strip it out and check if the addon would still work "good enough".
edit: i briefly tried and failed, also because the addon is pretty obfuscated. So yeah the only ones who will be able to make it work is the addon developers i guess.
Have you tried running the extension on Firefox?

This is just importing a list of extensions from chrome and matching them to a Firefox extension. If the extension doesn't have a Firefox version it won't fo anything.
